The Gates Stand Shut Lyrics

As flowers on which to step are these human feelings.
As love unreturned is the call for reason.

The hate to love secular life
and the passion for its destruction.
A devotee's morbid essence
and the purpose for desecration.

Speak no word as you understand none either.
Live to die and die to live.
This passion will subdue no longer.

If I could show the way,
would the dogmas make way for the soul?
If the gates stood open before your eyes,
would you dare enter oblivion?

What is there to see when the lids are sealed shut?
What is there to see with eyes staring but ahead?

Voice of wisdom and knowledge,
silent to the ears of ignorance.
His word is only heard in shadows,
where tyranny reigns.

Show me your will, it shall possess me.
Give me your word, it will command me.
Reveal me your truth, it shall guide me.
Unleash your might... and ruin me.
